The 2023 Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has stated that gender influences corruption.
According to him, women are not as corrupt as men.
Speaking on the Honest Bunch Podcast, the former Anambra State governor explained that because women are family-oriented, they are more determined to see society improve.
He said when he was governor, he appointed women in strategic positions.
“Women are less corrupt. They are not as corrupt as men. And because they have families, they are more determined to see things work.
“When I was governor, my Chief of Staff and commissioners for Education and Planning were all women,” Obi said.
In another news, the Director-General of the Tinubu-Shettima Ambassadors, a campaign group that advocated for President Bola Tinubu in the 2023 elections, Oladele Oyelude, has downplayed attempts to use opposition to the tax reforms bill to create discord between the North and President Tinubu ahead of the 2027 election.
Oyelude, an All Progressives Congress (APC) leader in Osun State, emphasized that those opposed to the bill should work with their National Assembly representatives to address any concerns rather than stirring up regional tensions.
